According to the words, on the second day, Yang Chengyue rushed to the emperor's morning court and told Xuan Muguo that he had been sneaky for a few days, and there was news that he wanted to buy murder.

Yang Chengyue's purpose was only to transfer the inner guards in a grand manner, and he had already dispatched them last night, so he didn't say much about the Lingye Palace. If the emperor wants to know, he will inevitably let people check it, and if he says too much, it will make the emperor suspicious.

Sure enough, before Yang Chengyue left, Xiao Yu sent the others back, leaving Wang's father-in-law alone.

"How much do you know about the Lingye Palace?" Xuan Muguo actually dared to buy the killer of the Great Shenyue to kill such an important person, wouldn't that slap the face of the Great Shenyue, if this is indeed the case, this Lingye Palace must be cleared.

"Back to the emperor, the Lingye Palace has been quite famous in the rivers and lakes in recent years, and when it comes to the Lingye Palace, there will inevitably be three sentences: there is only the news that the Lingye Palace wants to investigate, and there is no news that the Lingye Palace can't probe about, only the people who the Lingye Palace wants to kill, there is no person who the Lingye Palace can't kill, only the people that the Lingye Palace wants to protect, and there is no person that the Lingye Palace can't protect. "Father-in-law Wang can be reused by Xiao Yu, and he has worked weekdays.

"Oh?" Xiao Yu was a little surprised by the rampant Lingye Palace, and motioned for Gonggong Wang to continue. How dare you make such a big statement in the land of Dashenyue? Really don't take him seriously? How many guards are in the inner hall, how many separate secret guards are there, and how many forbidden troops are in Nanli City, I'm afraid only Xiao Yu himself knows.

"The three sentences of the Lingye Palace are also talking about their three main businesses: inquiry, killing, and guarding. They have two taboos: one is not to take things that harm the court, and the other is not to do things that hurt nature and reason, so although they are very famous in the rivers and lakes, they have never violated the river water with the well water of the official government. Moreover, how many court officials are also talking about the change of color in the Lingye Palace, because the Lingye Palace has too much information in its hands, even if it is not conclusive evidence, but it can hit a few waves casually. Wang Gonggong said as plainly as possible, the Jianghu General Lingye Palace is miraculous, but he doesn't know how credible it is.

"Speaking of which, this Lingye Palace is still my great god's more secret Yushitai? It's a little interesting! Who are the people in this Lingye Palace? Who is the master? Where is the residence?" Xiao Yu's face changed to a gloomy face, and his brows stretched slightly. If it doesn't endanger the imperial court, then he will be able to use it for the imperial court one day, if the National Spirit Night Palace really has such great ability, it can be regarded as a tiger with wings.

"The people of the Lingye Palace are roughly divided into two kinds: one is the many strange people in the rivers and lakes who have been collected, divided into different categories, all with their own strengths. These people have been wandering on various occasions all year round, including beggars, singers, Taoist priests, pharmacists, people who are good at hidden weapons, and people who are good at formations. But his temper is weird, his whereabouts are uncertain, and he only obeys the orders of the Lingye Palace;

The second is well-trained killers, all of whom are extraordinary, and all of them have more than two skills, some of which may be invincible in light skills, invincible in swordsmanship, and good at disguise. The most famous killer of the Lingye Palace is the Twenty-Four Spirits, who are the personal guards of the master of the Lingye Palace. As long as the twenty-four spirits appear, they will all make people frightened.

Of course, no matter how high the price is, they may not be able to be invited, and the Spirit Night Palace will arrange people according to the difficulty of the task, in their words, there are not many people in this world who are worthy of the twenty-four spirits to do it themselves.

So far, the twenty-four spirits have only carried out one mission, that is, three years ago in the suburbs of the city to hunt down the Xuanmu Hundred Flowers Palace, when the Hundred Flowers Palace killed more than a hundred top masters, and even the master of the Hundred Flowers Palace was killed.

Some people say that it is the hand of Prince Xuanmu, the master of the Hundred Flowers Palace, who bought the Lingye Palace, and some people say that this is the master of the Lingye Palace who is avenging himself, and there are different opinions. However, since then, the Xuanmu Hundred Flowers Palace has been divided a lot in the Great God Yue'an, and the Lingye Palace has also become famous for a while.

Although the price of Lingye Palace is high, there are still too many people who come to admire it, but unfortunately Lingye Palace does not accept all tasks, and they don't accept any taboo that touches them, no matter how high the price is. In this way, the evaluation of the Lingye Palace on the rivers and lakes is very high, which may be the reason why they can gather so many strange people on the rivers and lakes.

The master of the Spirit Night Palace, known as the Night Charm in the rivers and lakes, has never seen his true face. It is said that there is an annual gathering in the Lingye Palace to reward those who have made significant contributions. At that time, Night Charm will also go, but they are all shown in masks, either in white or black, and they have never changed.

No one knows how strong this night charm martial art is, but the methods of torturing people are extremely cruel. Hearing that someone from the Hundred Flowers Palace tortured one of his belovers to death, he was furious and ordered someone to arrest forty-nine people from the Hundred Flowers Palace to accompany him to the funeral. The method of burial was to give those people a poison and make them kneel there and keep vigil for 7749 days.

As soon as the poison was eaten, it was like countless centipedes devouring the internal organs in the body, making life worse than death, but he also asked people to pour a life-sustaining pill every day, and after forty-nine days, those people's bodies emitted a foul smell, but people still had a breath. Then he was thrown back to the people of the Hundred Flowers Palace.

As for their strongholds, it is impossible to find them, and there are only a few fixed places where they can be found, but it is said that the people they see are unarmed ordinary people, who are only responsible for delivering news and collecting money. When Father-in-law Wang talked about these things in the Lingye Palace, his heart was churning.

Xiao Yu pondered for a moment, what kind of person could be the master of the Lingye Palace? Don't do anything that endangers the imperial court, and don't make enemies of the imperial court, but judging from the rumors, they are not afraid of the imperial court, and what they do is just to make money? Or do they have deeper schemes?

Three years ago, he was deeply impressed by the incident of the Hundred Flowers Palace. Because the master of the Hundred Flowers Palace who died was the one who personally designed him to make a mistake that he could not forgive in his life, he mistakenly killed his loyal ministers and beheaded his family. This loyal minister is the father of his beloved concubine and the maternal grandfather of his imperial son. To this day, his beloved concubine is still reluctant to return to the palace, and his emperor is extremely cold to him.

But because the master of the Hundred Flowers Palace has always been the royal family of Xuanmu Kingdom, he has always been difficult to do it openly. Besides, the people of Baihua Palace have always been insidious and cunning, and it takes a lot of energy to deal with them, and Xiao Yu has basically focused his time on government politics over the years, and the murder has been put aside.

I heard that people have been killed, but I only said that there were too many enemies, and I just solved the hatred in my heart, so I didn't ask much, and I didn't hear about the Lingye Palace at that time. Speaking of it now, this Lingye Palace's ability is very great.

"I want to see what they are capable of!" Xiao Yu secretly smiled on his face. "You, go and do it immediately: 10,000 taels to buy the Lingye Palace to thoroughly investigate the eldest prince, 10,000 taels to buy the heads of the ten Xuanmu countries in Nanli City, and 500,000 taels to buy the thoughtfulness of the prince and princess of Tangling. ”

Father-in-law Wang quickly disguised himself and left the palace, and came to the nearest stronghold of the Lingye Palace: Suxin Building.

Early in the morning, there were no other guests in Suxin Building, only a few juniors were sprinkling and sweeping. Father-in-law Wang deliberately took Xiao Er's hand to ask, and sure enough, as rumored to say, he was just an ordinary person.

proposed to see the shopkeeper, Xiao Er quickly led Gonggong Wang to a private room on the second floor, served a pot of tea and a plate of snacks, and asked him to sit for a while, and then went to invite the shopkeeper.

But after a cup of tea, the shopkeeper came, but it was a middle-aged man who looked like an ordinary white-faced scholar, and he looked weak.

Wang Gong openly explained his intentions.

This shopkeeper named Cheng Jiu is also a cheerful person, and bluntly said that a thorough investigation of the Great Prince Lingye Palace will charge 20,000 taels, after all, the status is noble, and he only provides information, and does not care about anything else, it takes a day;

Because yesterday Xuan Muguo bid 500,000 taels to buy the lives of the prince and princess of the Eastern Cemetery Garden, the master of the Lingye Palace already knew the news and refused, so they naturally had to take the business to save their lives, and the time limit was half a month.

Soon Wang Gonggong negotiated with Cheng Jiu, and signed the contract of Lingye Palace in duplicate, and paid half of the fee in advance according to the contract, and the remaining half was paid after the first two errands were verified tomorrow.

After Father-in-law Wang left, Cheng Jiu soon went to the courtyard of Gutong Lane and reported the matter to Xiao Yuwen.

Xiao Yuwen looked at the contract, and there was no expression on his always cold face, as if he was not surprised.

"Very good, extra reward for January. Xiao Yuwen returned the contract to Cheng Jiu.

This Cheng Jiu is also a rare clever person, and when he inquired about the news of the eldest prince, he rose by 10,000 taels, and the reward for him was not much.

Originally, today I was going to make a den in the Baihua Palace of Xuanmu Country, fifteen people are not too many, just to be a favor, and it should be a comfort for the 10,000 taels.

Hengzhu has received an order from the prince and princess of Tanglin Kingdom to upgrade the guard level to Class A, and the 500,000 taels sent to the door should not be in vain.

"Thank you!" Cheng Jiu bowed respectfully and retreated.

Zhen Lie also received the news that the people of Xuanmu Kingdom bought a lot of money to take their lives from the Lingye Palace yesterday, and he was always worried in his heart.

However, Lin Wanyan came back late yesterday, and asked him to say something tomorrow on the grounds that he was tired. So he didn't sleep well all night, so he got up early to wait for Lin Wanyan, and was still hesitating whether to let her travel with the fourth prince today.

Lin Wanyan woke up early in the morning and found that there was an extra maid, and her temperament was almost the same as that of the green warbler, so she didn't ask much.

When I walked out of the courtyard, I found that there were more plainclothes guards, and there were a few more men with a lot of bad spirits. Looking at the look of the clothes, she felt very familiar, and after a few more glances, she remembered that it must be those guards in Xiao Yuwen's courtyard yesterday. I had some doubts in my heart, but I was soon relieved.

"Brother, is there something wrong?" Lin Wanyan saw Zhen Lie sitting at the dinner table with a worried face.

"Sister, I'm worried that something dangerous will happen these days. Zhen Lie didn't dare to tell Lin Wanyan everything she knew, after all, she escaped death once, and she was probably a little scared in her heart.

"Brother, don't worry, this is already under the nose of Emperor Dashenyue, and he will definitely protect us. If it weren't for Xiao Yuwen, Lin Wanyan might have been scared, but now she is very at ease, inexplicably at ease, even if she hasn't known that person for a long time.

That being said, we had to be careful. "Xiao Yu's additional person Zhen Lie knows it, but after all, it is not his own person, he can't rest assured, the people who have been reinforced by the Tanglin Kingdom again are still on the way, and he is worried that something will happen before his people arrive.

"Let's eat, brother, what should come will always come, you can't hide, don't mess around, anyway, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. Lin Wanyan looked calm, she didn't like wasting time on things that couldn't be changed.

Zhen Lie nodded, this sister was much calmer than himself at a critical time.
